You are missing the point. This has nothing to do with raising and training a military. This is all about social engineering and placing defense of the nation secondary to the political agenda of the Democrat Party. Women, homosexuals, transgenders, criminals, pacifists, and terrorists should be accommodated within the military in whatever position that fits their desires. Phyisical limitations don’t count, mental limitations don’t count, anti social behavior doesn’t count.
Not only will dumping the social engineering make the armed forces more capable of doing their real job, more people would be willing to enlist.
Amen.
Not only will dumping the social engineering make the armed forces more capable of doing their real job, more people would be willing to enlist. As it stands now, I would not want to see the wholesale conscription of 18 year olds for indoctrination, followed by being sent into combat with substandard training in real military matters.
I had an extremely contentious discussion with a Freeper the other day who was castigating me for linking women in combat and the draft.
This is why you see so many leftists pushing the draft.
